1877 Trade Dollar. Proof-67+ * Cameo (NGC).；A spotlight of platinum brilliance illuminates the centers of this incredible jewel, penetrating an otherwise deep iridescence of violet, cobalt and turquoise hues. Beneath this original patina lurks watery and deeply reflective fields that flood each face without interruption. These mirrors are nicely contrasted by the satiny luster that cloaks the design elements and exhibits a similarly angelic composure. Words and images largely fail to convey the fantastic complexion that is evoked from viewing this piece in-hand, and we encourage all bidders to examine closely. <p>This specimen is one of just 510 Proofs of the date struck, far and away the smallest Proof production run for any date in the series other than the clandestine 1884 and 1885 Proof-only rarities. Within this already exclusive population the present example sits at the pinnacle, representing the finest piece certified by PCGS or NGC in any Cameo designation.
